Front Three-Point Seat Belt, Removing And Installing: Installing
Risk of injury due to involuntary deployment.
- Pay attention to the safety precautions when working with pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
Install in reverse order of removal and note the following:
-- If parts of the seat belt system are removed due to an accident, replace the belt system bolts.
Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
Equipped on some models: after replacing the Left Front Seat Belt Tensioner Control Module -J854- /Right Front Seat Belt Tensioner Control Module -J855-, the control module must be adapted using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
-- Insert the automatic belt retractor with the anti-twist mechanism -1- in the mount in direction of -arrow- and tighten the bolt.
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the battery is connected.
- The ignition must be on when connecting the battery.
- Make sure that no one is inside the vehicle at the time when the battery is connected.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the ignition is switched on.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - >>indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up<< - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
